Tuchanka: Bomb

The turian team that crashed on Tuchanka was trying to prevent Cerberus from detonating a bomb that would cause massive casualties on the planet. Land on Tuchanka and help the Turian platoon stop Cerberus.

Your team gets deposited right in the heart of a hotly contested area, where many of Cerberus’ troops have already gained advantageous ground. An uneven mixture of Assault Troopers and Centurions will stand in your way. Push through them and keep moving toward the location of the bomb.

It won’t be long before you hit another infantry contingency that includes Combat Engineers and a turret . Destroy the shield generators to not only remove these highly effective cover options but also for added area of effect damage.

Cerberus troops are preparing for retreat, but a few brave ones stay behind. Further ahead, Shepard gets a clearer view of the bomb threat; ascend the ladder to the right. Continue along this path to the bomb.

When you reach Lt. Victus, he’s already working on a way to deactivate the bomb, but he needs more time. This is your cue to buy him some time by fending off the Cerberus scum that are getting ferried in by transport shuttles. Watch which side the shuttle drops off its troops and defend that area, but more importantly watch Victus’ health bar and ensure that he stay out of harm’s way.

Hydra Missile Launcher - This weapon can be found lying on the ground on the right side of the area you are defending.

At some point, an Atlas Mech joins the fun. Grab the missile launcher and direct its sheer power on the Atlas; it’s got only one shot, so make it count! Successfully protect Victus and the rest of the mission will unfold in a cutscene.
